★★★★★ The acting is transformational and the singing is emotionally fulfilling…" GLAM, AdelaideAnna May Wong: From immigrant's daughter to Hollywood's first Chinese movie star to international style icon, Anna May Wong's career spanned silent film, talkies, Broadway, cabaret and television before she was thwarted by alcoholism and an industry unwilling to see past her Asian face.
In this WA premiere, Fiona Choi (The Family Law, The Letdown, Golden Shield) captivates as Anna May in an intimate performance as she travels through Anna May's past and tackles her demons.
With its scandalous reminiscences and sparkling musical numbers, Dragon Lady provokes questions about the heavy price of female ambition, and highlights struggles of cultural identity still painfully relevant today.
"It was a revelation to me to see what an exquisite, all-around performer she [Choi] is… such a delight to observe and enjoy Fiona's vocal skills, timing, and phrasing." Global Media Post
Presented by Perth International Cabaret Festival.
